Vlamis junior villa with swimming pool

Description from the manager

What can be more appealing than a property set in an open landscape on the edge of the sea, with magnificent panoramic views and perfect tranquility.

Vlamis consists of four adjoining single units and one separate unit of accommodation. The views of the sea and the sky are as far as the eye

can see and at night, the starry lights of Chania are clearly visible across the water.

The area of Stavros consists of a scattering of holiday accommodation and some private villas, but generally it remains beautifully quiet.

A couple of tavernas are close by and a few more as you head out to Stavros in one direction or Kalathas in... the opposite direction.

The beach at Kalathas is sandy and some water sports are also available. One or two small grocery shops are in the area but there are many more shops and restaurants
in and around the seaside villages in the peninsular.
A car opens up further options to explore this fascinating area of Crete. The contrasting terrain is almost endless, with vineyards
and melon fields, to traditional villages and fishing harbours. At the northern tip and only a four minute drive from your accommodation
you will reach Stavros village, where â€˜Zorbasâ€™ mountain dominates a glorious white sandy beach which is shallow and safe for children.
There is large car parking area, a well tended lawn at the front and a magnificent good size swimming pool above the rocks on the waters edge.
Built in traditional style the accommodation is light and airy but during those hot balmy nights, air conditioning will provide extra comfort.
As you open the balcony door, stand back and take in the glorious views across the garden, the swimming pool and out to sea.
Each unit has a spacious and private balcony and with the French doors open, the view is fantastic even from the inside of every front room.
We are confident this property will appeal to our clients who will be well looked after by the owner who is in regular attendance.
She speaks enough English to guide and advise you if you so require.

What Past Guests Are Saying

Overall Rating

It was very nice

Left on 10/04/2013 for a stay in September 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

My husband and our 11 months baby had a fabulous time in the villa Vlamis. It is close to the see, every morning when our baby slept we swam in crystal clean sea. In the evening, you can hear the noise of the sea and magic sunset.
Penelope and George were very friendly and very responsive. We really enjoyed it. We were a bit worry due to baby, but we were provided crib for baby and baby chair, which make our holidays much easier. Really recommend it. We were lucky, found this villa in Internet, but we already want to reserve for the next year!!!

The unforgettable sunset, warm hospitality and breathtaking sour

Left on 09/07/2012 for a stay in July 2012 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

We arrived late at night in Crete with high expectations and we were not let down. Penolope and George our ever so caring hosts, met us late at night at the airport to welcome us and guide us to the villa.

The first in day in the villa we discovered how wonderful the place was. From the clean, warm and refreshing pool to the crystal clear sea right beneath the villa, which the whole family appreciated a lot.

Almost every evening we watch the unbelievable beatiful sunset. The sun sets right in front of the villa. The villa is situated in a relaxing and calm sourroundings and the only sound was the waves hitting the shore.

Penelope and George often visited us either to give us traveling tip, nearby restaurants or to provide us with homegrown vegetables.

Stavros beach which is nearby ( drive 4 min) is wonderful lagune with crystal greenish water. A perfect beach for both adults and kids.

We will highly recommend Vlamis villa because , The wonderful Penelope and George, the spacious and nice villa with the fantastic view and sunset.
The sea that goes on for ever and ever.
The kids tolds when we had to leave that this was the best holiday ever.

Amazing location

Left on 08/31/2011 for a stay in July 2011 | Richard

I can simply say that it was a pleasure to stay at Vlamis Villas for two weeks with my wife and kids. Both George and Penelope were very great and responded to all of our needs. I will never forget the sunsets, the great view from the balcony, and the great food at the nearby restaurants. It was a perfect holiday in the sun.

Perfect Vacation

Left on 09/15/2010 for a stay in August 2010 | Ami & Inbal Rotter

We had the most fantastic holiday at Vlamis apartments!

The secluded, peaceful and beautiful surroundings contributed to a well needed relaxing vacation. The reasonably priced apartment was very clean, well equipped for home cooked meals, with lovely Penelope and her family always available to provide us with care and recommendations about nearby restaurants and attractions.

We found ourself feeling so well at ease and at home that we barely left the place and poolside, other than in order to fill the fridge or laze out at the perfect sandy beach in Kalathas a few minutes drive away. Our two year old daughter was so happy she completely forgot to throw us her occasional terrible-twos tantrum!

In short - don't even think twice - press "Contact Owner" before the place is fully booked!!!

Superb holiday destination

Left on 09/06/2010 for a stay in August 2010 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

This was our first trip to Crete, and what an introduction! We stayed in the "Independent" villa for 2 weeks in a very hot august. The accommodation was easily big enough for us (2 adults, 2 children), and it was kept very clean by owners both before and during our stay.

The facilities were good, with a large fridge freezer, and adequate kitchen area.

The kids loved the seawater pool, and it was so nice not to smell of chemicals each time we wanted a swim! A very short walk down to the sea (about 30 meters) and I was in the sea, swimming amongst some stunning fish. (this became a daily ritual!)

A short trip (5 mins) in the car gives you easy access to at least 4 good sandy beaches. Many of these are very sheltered, so are ideal for young kids, and also for those that wish to just lay on their back and float! Even more beaches are available after a 15min drive.

We took a boat trip out of Chania during our stay, and highly recommend this too. We also went to the waterpark, which was a lot of fun, and is well worth spending a full day at.

The owners of the villa were very pleasant indeed, and gave us lots of information on our arrival to enable us to find all the important things, like Tavernas, supermarkets, banks etc. This enabled us to feel right at home from the very start of our stay.

Idyllic setting, relaxing holiday with excellent attention from

Left on 04/16/2010 for a stay in June 2009 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

We had excellent service from the owners both before and during our holiday. The accommodation is well appointed and well maintained with lovely unobstructed views out to sea.
There are tavernas in the area and it is approximately a 20 minute drive to Chania were there are more restaurants and shops. Excellent, safe beaches nearby.
Airport transfers are easy for the independent traveller, would recommend pick of hire car from the airport as a car is essential. Crete is a wonderful island worth exploring.
